Eliza Barbosa, 51, of the Bronx, New York, was last seen inside her home on the morning of Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Described as a Hispanic female with a light complexion, she is about 5 feet tall, 110 pounds, with brown eyes and short, wavy brown hair. Her daughter, Caitlyn Breen, who lives upstate, spoke with her at least once a week and raised the alarm when contact abruptly stopped.

The family faced difficulty getting an official missing person’s report filed; the New York City Police Department did not open a case until July 20, 2024. In the months after that there were no solid leads, and the family worked with missing persons advocates to raise awareness. An online update from a missing persons advocacy group later reported that Eliza had been found safe, ending the active search.

If anyone knew Eliza, lived near her Bronx neighborhood in spring 2024, or has information about her disappearance and recovery, please share what you know.
